How do you change the color or the bubble message when your reading old text message?
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
i'd like to know this too, but if you hit settings at the main thread menu then you can change the ringtone for messages.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
You would probably have to root the phone to change the bubble colors. You can use Handscent that allows for customization of the bubble colors.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddyferret:
I'm trying to use MetaMorph to add the "rainy day" wallpaper to the lockscreen.

When I start it I get a message saying it needs to run some checks first. Then it tells me some files couldn't be extracted and set up and to make sure I have enough free space in /system.

How much space do I need to install it? I have about 30 megs of internal phone storage.

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I'm just trying to get the phone set up the way I want it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsportz156:
If i try to sort by artists or search in music it crashes and says not enough space in music database...I have 4gb of free space on card and more than that on device, any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:
I have this also, plenty of space available, users with cards of various capacities have reported the same.

Nobody has found a cause/fix yet as far as I'm aware, I use Tunewiki when I want to listen by Artist.
[Droid X General] mcclanahoochie:
I recently got a Droid X as an upgrade from the original Droid, and decided to compare the two:

Droid 1 Vs. Droid X

Hope this helps someone!
[Droid X General] chris2k5:
I personally think the Droid X is more solid than the Droid 1. In your review you said the Droid X is plastic!?!? It is metal buddy.
[Droid X General] mcclanahoochie:
I said the Droid X feels more plastic when holding both phones.

I know both phones are solid and durable.
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
It's probably because the Droid X is so much lighter.
[Droid X General] mcclanahoochie:
Yes, handling solely the Droid X for a few days, it doesn't really feel plastic, but quite strong. I guess I was in the mindset that heavier is stronger, which [gladly] isn't always the case.

Also, Nixing MotoBlur for Launcher Pro Beta has drastically improved my experience with the Droid X - I do recommend!

Thanks for all the feedback.

If i try to sort by artists or search in music it crashes and says not enough space in music database...I have 4gb of free space on card and more than that on device, any help?
[Vibrant General] mdanerd:
same here, I would love a fix because I actually like the stock player and dont want to change it out.
[Vibrant General] kingpongg:
is moving to the internal sd an option?

i had the same issue and found a thread here or on another site suggesting to move the music to the internal sd card. i did this and it worked for me.

granted, you have to have less than ~13G of music for this workaround.
[Vibrant General] katemonster:
I did not have this problem with the music stored on the external SD card (2gb, damn near to useless). With the music on the internal storage, I get this problem. I for one think it's completely unbelievable that this $500 device with 16gb of internal storage can't handle 10gb of music stored on it. I had a guy tell me music players weren't that great for android phones, but I didn't imagine it could be this bad. I've been trying all weekend and I have yet to find anything offering even minimal functionality. This really blows my mind.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
i have a 16gb card full of songs and i don't have this error
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Does it matter how the files are organized?

What about when using a different music player?

I have a co-worker who also has the phone and is seeing this problem. I've got a 32gb card coming in the mail and I was hoping to put my music collection on it. If the app can't handle a certain size, that will suck.
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Could it also be the music file types/bitrates?

Anyone have any idea why some are seeing this and others not?
[Vibrant General] CPeterson:
The first time I synced I didn't have trouble, and then, after adding a bunch of album art I get it consistently. I haven't bothered to track it down past that, since switching to Mixzing worked around the problem.
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
QFT, I have no issues aswell:D
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
I finally got my sd card and put it in the system. I started transferring my music and it quite near the end with something about the path being to deep. However, with about 16.5 out of 17.5 gb transfered I was able to sort by artist without a hitch.

I don't know why the transfer failed because when I plugged it back in and resumed where it left off every thing transfered fine.

However, I now get the out of memory crash when sorting by artist.

Not sure if it is some particular file (name, length, etc.), or if it is because my damn dog decided to run into the cord and unplug it without safely unmounting, but i'll try and figure it out.

I'm going to delete files, from the set that didn't transfer the first time, one by one until it works or I get back to the state where it was working. If nothing comes of that, I'll delete all and add back in until it stops working.

Maybe it is the number of artists? The files that didn't transfer the first time where from the various artists folder in my collection.

Or maybe warren g and nate dogg regulated my stock music app?
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
It appears it is related to the number of artists.

I reproduced the problem, then went into my various artists folder and removed albums one by one until the problem went away. I then added the album back in that made the difference between it working and not. I then removed a song at a time until the problem went away again. I then added a song from another artist back in and it once again failed.

So it appears there is a cap on the number of artists.

I'll continue working on this and report back the exact number of artists that causes the issue.
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
OK, well I thought was the number of artists, but now I'm not so sure.

Maybe it has something to do with how the app handles various artists and/or unknown artists.

I added all my music, then deleted tracks from various artist albums until it worked again. I then put back the various artist album track and it didn't work, as expected.

I thought this was artist based, but when I got it working again--by deleting the track mentioned above--and then added a track for a various artist album by an artist that already existed, the app crashed too.

I then thought it might be song based. So I removed that song and then added a set of songs. However, it unexpectantly worked.

The difference with the set of songs added above is that they weren't part of a various artist album. They were a new artist, but the main album artist wasn't Various with a Contributing artist of the actual artist name. Instead, the Album Artist was the artist name and the contributing artist was left blank (or had the same name).

So, it is that the music app doesn't understand how to handle various artist albums?

Could someone else with this problem remove all the various artist albums from their collection and see if their app works again?
[Vibrant General] ScottyNuttz:
DLarva: Thanks, your post was very helpful.

I read elsewhere that when the player has a hard time with VA tracks, it does not recognize them as separate albums or something. Does it allow you to have some tracks by "Various Artists", but then begin to fail after reaching a certain number?

This is good that you found that was the key, because it is easy to work around!
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
On my vibrant I can only have 3 songs from a various artists album. It doesn't matter what the other tags are--like contributing artist--as long as the album artist is Various.

I'm guessing others will have a different number. This is because when I was experimenting I once had it working with several more various artist songs, but that was when I was missing a handful of my standard albums.

So it seems that various artist songs cause the issue, but that the number your vibrant will handle varies by the amount of artists or standard songs you have on your system--or some other unknown factor.

Any chance something like this will get fixed?
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Anyone out there also dealing with this issue and can tell me how many Various Artist tracks they can get on their phone before it crashes when sorted by artist?

I'd like to try and narrow this down a bit further before calling Samsung tech support.
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Found a co-worker with a Vibrant and confirmed that he could have a different number of various artist songs on his.

Also deleted a folder for an artist with 3 ablums and was able to add 3 albums worth of various artist songs.

So, it either is something like the number of folders or perhaps albums, or it is some complicated combination of things.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
have this problem and it is ****ing annoying. Have to use TuneWiki instead of the stock app.
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Just when I think I have it figured out, it all goes to...

I added a new album, from an existing artist, and now without any various artist albums I'm getting the crash.

At this point I'm left with the conclusion that its the number of songs, or folders, or some combination to complicated to figure out.

Anyone else have any thoughts?
[Vibrant General] gbzbar:
I know workarounds suck for something like this, but there is another one available if you don't want to stop using the TW music player, and you don't want to delete or relocate your music.

Basically, you copy all artist information to Composer in the ID3 tag, and hide the artist tab in the TW music player. All functionality will be there.

I used mp3tag, and it worked really well.

If anyone is interested...

1. Load up your music in mp3tag

2. Select all your music in the app.

3. Push Alt-5.

4. On top right, click on "New".

5. Name it anything you want.

6. Click on "New" again.

7. On the drop-down, click on "Format Value".

8. In Field, select "COMPOSER".

9. Click on the right arrow next to Format String, and select "Artist".

10. Click OK... OK.... Make sure that only your new action is checked, and click OK again.

11. Click on Save.

This doesn't rename your files or change functionality or usability at all.

Now your music is formatted so that when you show the Composer tab on your Vibrant, it will show you all artists.
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
And it doesn't crash when sorted by composer with the same set of files that crashed when sorted by artist?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] autonomous-inc:
Alright, so I'm no newb to the Rhodium/TP2/Tilt2. I've flashed countless ROMs and tweaked my phone to the extreme. Even though I've done all of this, there is one thing I'm still missing, and that's the functionality of a CTRL key.

I've downloaded the Keyboard Config program for the Tilt 2, and even after setting the "OK" key (the one next to the "Home" button on the keyboard itself), the only function I got out of the supposed "CTRL" was two unreadable characters being pasted when I use CTRL + C.

Obviously that isn't supposed to happen, so I was wondering if there was anybody on XDA that owns a Tilt 2 and has the CTRL key function working with a Tilt 2 keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] autonomous-inc:
Gonna bump this. It's kindof important to me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00225:
I am running frf91 and my hotspot is working. Every time I turn on the hotspot function of my phone and connect my computer, my computer sees it remembers the SSID and password but reports a higher number than the time before. For example my SSID shows 'androidap (5)'. Five is the number of times I have turned the feature on my phone and then connected my computer. I don't know if the problem is my phone or computer. I am using a dell latitude 6400 with win7 64bit.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It has something to do with your computer, more specifically - with bloatware that is most probably installed as WiFi control application. Nothing to do with Nexus. SSID doesn't change, otherwise you wouldn't be able to connect to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00225:
Thanks for your input Jack. My computer is recently formatted and I am only using the windows software to manage my wireless networks. I am not using any third party software. What kind of bloatware were you thinking? I am using Microsoft security essentials for antivirus but otherwise I try to keep things very clean. Maybe it's a driver issue? Any other thoughts?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Usually laptops come preinstalled with management SW from their manufacturer - including WiFi management apps that are bundled with the WiFi driver (Intel, Dell, etc). If you didn't install it and you're using the default Win7 networking - then my answer above isn't applicable.

Any chance of a screenshot showing this number?

Also, you could try changing the SSID, registering the laptop on the new network and checking if you're getting the same number increase as before.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theartfullodger:
'bleedin Windoze again then !!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tankmorph:
I have a Lenovo laptop with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional. No other WiFi management software.

I have this same issue. Everytime I WiFi tether, I get a new network connection with an increasingly higher number. It's not the SSID that changes, though. That's always the same. Just the connection name changes.

I prefer to just tether with USB, anyway. That way my phone gets a charge a the same time. I mostly use my WiFi tether for my iPad.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I have Win7 at home, I'll test it later.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00225:
Thanks again. I have tried changing the ssid and I am getting the same results. I have found that if I keep tether running on the phone and connect multiple times from the computer, the number doesn't climb. But when I toggle tether on the phone and connect it creates a new, higher number. Of course my mac friend can't reproduce this error with his ipad, all is fine there. I have reproduced this error on two win7 64 machines and an XP profession 32 machine.

The screenshot you requested is attached
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason.hamilton:
I noticed this too even with USB tether. I am fairly certain that this is because your computer counts each connection as a different network because your phone uses dynamic ip addresses and that creates a different default gateway for your hotspot each time it is connected.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Ok, looks like it's creating a new "public network" each time you're connected to tethering.

I couldn't replicate it on XP, since XP doesn't create network profiles for connections.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemymonkey:
This is a stock Android issue, right? Not something screwed up in just custom ROMs?

Can someone point me in the direction of the bug report on the Issues tracker? Or isn't there one? :eek:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
It's because it is in a different IP range all the time.

You're worrying about nothing. It's simply a trivial number, nothing to even concern yourself with.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Solutor:
No it isn't.

It's the MAC addres that changes every time.

Doesn't happen with the sense HTC hot spot or with barnacle.

It's incredible that no one has looked in to this annoying bug.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemymonkey:
Wrong. Windows 7 takes 5 minutes to connect to the network when this happens, as opposed to the usual 10 seconds or so.

If it were just the number that had changed, nobody would care.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashR:
Further info on new MAC addresses

To continue THE SOLUTOR's comment, I found this article that describes the new MAC address issue as it shows up in windows, but it also doesn't have a solution.

I clicked to cache a station yesterday, and slacker has had issues ever since. I have deleted it, reflashed my rom, deleted the slacker folder on sd card, everything I can think of. On wifi and 4g, it works great. on 3g, it downloads about 10 seconds then locks up. Sometimes it restarts, sometimes it fc's. If anyone has any ideas, I sure would appreciate it.
[HD2 General] alexhope21:
Hello, i have been reading a fair bit on this forum lately trying to figure out what i can do with my new HTC HD2, so far the only difference from my old brick is its easier to use.

However one thing that has been annoying me and what originally got me searching these forums is that in the Settings -> Data Services, neither the facebook one or the youtube one will login, but twitter works fine, does anyone know a solution for this?

Here is software details:

OS Version: 5.2.21864 (21864.0.81)

Manila Version: 2.5.19202525.0

ROM Version: 1.43.405.1

Radio Version: 2.04.50.22_2

Protocol Version: 15.26.50.07U

So basically im asking... what should i do with this thing :p

And it would also be nice if someone could link me to some material explain ROMs etc, because as of now im still confused with this topic.

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heloman_limboonhai:
I am having a SGS asia version with latest firmware.

i have rooted it with su access and using process manager to kill those unwanted application (google map, double clock, and others....) running from behind.

but after certain time (range from 1 hour to 2 hours), those unwanted application will load back and take up the memory again. I have to manually killed them again and the remaining RAM is reduced in the process.

Is anyone facing similar problem ?

anyone know how to permanently stop this ? is there any program in the Samsung that keep summoning those application ?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Ya, I've this problem too, but mine is the stock firmware.I've no idea what causes those applications to launch themselves.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heloman_limboonhai:
yes, a few of my friend also facing this problem. that is why i am thinking is some professional here can help us on this question.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Seifer1975:
If you have rooted your phone, download this app called startup manager from market place, then disable these apps from the start up process. Viola, no more.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Is this startup manager for choosing which applications to auto start during soft reset only though?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
You might also want to give "automatic task killer" from the market a go too, first app I would install after flashing roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heloman_limboonhai:
I have installed startup manager application and already disable them at the startup. But they still coming back once a while when the phone is running......

I have successfully stop them from launch at the starting but after a while, it keep coming back. What is more irritating is once i kill them, they launch again 1-2 hours later....

i am thinking , is there any application running underground which keep "calling" them ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
After reading the help section on the system panel I installed, apparently the way android works is by loading up apps that it thinks you might need, so that when you do open them, they're already sitting there ready. system panel shows you a list of apps that are open on your phone and running, open but in the background, and those that on standby. Most task killers only show all these as being open, when they actually all aren't. The maker of the app strongly advises against continually killing all apps, unless any of them have a problem. Anyway, that's just what I read.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I see. Now it does explains everything. Sounds factual to me, if you've read it in the help section of the system panel. Thank you.

Facts are so important in problem solving.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Can you tell us which apps are started every hours like that ??

On my side I would like to know if the following app can be killed :

* Device management

* DRM protected content storage

* SNS

*com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una

* com.sec.android.providers.downloads

*mobile AP settings

* Mobile Tracker settings

* Log provider

* My upload

* Settings

thanks
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Hey guys, I have not seen a post about this yet so I figured I'd ask. I just rooted and was able to remove ATT bloatware using titanium backup. I would also like to add a wireless tethering app so that I can use my phone as a wireless modem. I have this app installed on my sprint htc hero (also rooted). I searched the market (where I found it on my hero) but I assume ATT blocks this somehow. Has anyone tried to wirelessly tether yet? If so, were you successful?
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
I was just browsing over on the vibrant forums and they have no luck yet. They were able to get the apps to install fine, but the ssid would not broadcast. They are still seeking a solution... Hopefully us ATT users want this as bad as I do :)
[Captivate General] gephoria:
want more like need.

the whole reason I got this phone was because of the community that seems to be making things happen faster than any of the iphone 4 development! I'm excited to see what they can do with the wireless tethering.
[Captivate General] _Opiate_:
It seems to be somthing AT&T is doing. Wireless Tether will not work on the Aria right now either.
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Hmmm interesting. I hope there are more developers for the captivate vs the aria.
[Captivate General] _Opiate_:
Im sure we'll see some of the AT&T Nexus one Devs migrate on over. I mean who doesn't want a 4inch super AMOLED and Hummingbird CPU to play with. Not to mention the GPU performance pretty much double's any other Android on the market as of now.

I put my unlimited data iPad sim in my Nexus One to tether with so I'll be ok for now anyway.
[Captivate General] wpb2:
I just sideloaded android wifi tether on my Captivate, and it does not work. It appears to work, but my Mac doesn't see to network. I tried the 2.0.5 beta as well as 2.0.2. Hope someone finds a fix soon, or I might have to go back to my iPhone 4 and add to supported tethering. Ouch!

O
[Captivate General] _Opiate_:
I'm pretty sure it's something in the kernel...a custom rom might help...maybe if it uses a kernel from another S device that has the same hardware.
[Captivate General] dontshakepandas:
Its not wifi tethering but I've got pdanet working over the usb cord and bluetooth. Not quite as good but if you need something to use while you wait for someone to figure the wifi out it should do the trick.
[Captivate General] reclaimercube:
Doesn't the Captivate have built in tethering though? And couldn't you just use that?...
